The people of Chang'an soon learned of the conflict that had taken place in Changle Plateau. Whether it is the government or the public, as long as it is a little brainy, they all have a premonition of the coming storm.

It was particularly shocking that the crown prince Liu Ju ordered the killing for the first time because of this incident. It is said that some important ministers have begun to express their dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and perhaps at the next court meeting, someone will openly express their dissatisfaction with the way he handled the matter.

However, after the crown prince returned to Chang'an, he did not inform any of the ministers about the cause and effect of the incident. Bowangen remained silent to the outside world, as if nothing had happened. This seems a bit unusual.

Countless people were secretly watching, not only watching the movements of the prince's East Palace, but also observing the movements of some of the important ministers left behind. Although Chang'an Street Market is still prosperous, the secret circulation of some news has invisibly cast a shadow on the imperial capital of the empire.

The prince's heavy punishment of some of the cavalry officers was seen as part of his efforts to demonstrate his toughness in power. And in some people's exaggerations, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken this opportunity to express the grievances in his chest after so many years of forbearance.

When such arguments began to circulate, it was naturally a serious disparagement for the prince's former reputation. However, the source of such rumors is nowhere to be found, and even if you want to track it down, you can't find out. What's more, the Han Dynasty never punished crimes for words, and some people once bluntly said that the Son of Heaven had a reputation for being a direct admonition. Not to mention the crown prince.

As for the statement that the prince shielded and helped Changle Yuan conceal the suspicion of the crime because of his personal feelings, I don't know where it came from. Almost overnight, all over the streets. After adding oil and vinegar to the interpretation, the serious conflict that happened in Changle Yuan not long ago has evolved into several versions.

The forces that have always been loyal to the crown prince and the empress are worried about the direction of Bowangyuan. Everyone has already sensed that there seems to be an invisible net that is being carefully woven by people with ulterior motives, slowly spreading out from the sky over Chang'an.......

In Chang'an Mingyue Tower, the son of the Ji family, who hurried back from outside the city again, told his father Ji Ying about the thrilling things that happened on Changle Plateau in recent days.

Sure enough, it was not beyond the expectations of the master father. Once the secret enemies start to act, they will definitely not suffer a little setback and give up easily. Since the prince led his army back to Chang'an that day, a small group of unknown people began to want to invade Changle Plateau. These people are of unknown origin, and they are all highly skilled, and they are extremely ruthless. In just a few days, more than a dozen people on Changle Plateau have lost their precious lives in the strangulation with them. Even Lu Jun and Li Ling were injured to varying degrees.

"Father, in order to protect Changle Yuan from loss, the main father, Mr. Yan, has worked hard day and night to command and dispatch manpower, and his physical condition is worrying...... I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to support it! ”

Jiga's arm was also wrapped in a thick bandage, which he had sustained in the fight with a group of men in black who had suddenly appeared last night. At this time, he looked at his father Ji Ying, his face full of impatience.

"How much power is available on Changle Plateau right now?"

Ji Ying's face was a little heavy. He knew that the Lord Father Yan would not send someone for help unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Including the veterans who volunteered to help, there are about four or five hundred people. And the guys who come to raid Changle Yuan at any time in the dark of night often look like hundreds of people. The most hateful thing is that these guys don't know what the ultimate goal is, and they always suddenly appear to burn and flee immediately. I don't know where they are hiding or where they come from. Father, when did there be such a secret force near Chang'an?"

Jiga was furious. He is not afraid of fighting on the opposite side of the real knife and real gun, but what he is facing now is simply overwhelming. Ji Ying shook his head, he looked at the bustling market downstairs in Mingyue, and said with a wry smile.

"These people should not be the power of the rivers and lakes. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid they are all masters of the powerful mansions. ”

"It can't be, right? Who would have such courage in the house...... That's hundreds of extremely powerful guys! ”

"That's why the purpose behind this is even more terrifying! It is clear that this is a united force. If it is really related to the operation of the Chang'an cavalry a few days ago, I am afraid that they will not stop until they achieve their goal! ”

"Father, Mr. Father Yan seems to mean the same thing. In this way, it seems that the other party has changed its strategy and wants to achieve things with secret power? ”

Ji Ying did not immediately answer her son's question. In the brutal power struggle, some of the means are far more complicated than you think. He pondered for a moment, and said to Ji Jia with a solemn expression.

"Yuanhou has a great favor to our Ji family, and Mingyue Lou naturally can't stand idly by. Gather our men now, and you can take them with you. Jiga, you remember, no matter life or death, don't live up to the word 'righteousness' that upholds your ancestors! ”

Jiga readily agreed. What their Ji family values most is righteousness, three cups of Turannuo, and one promise is a thousand pounds! So much for.

"Father, Mr. Yan, the master father, also asked me to tell you that there are likely to be great changes in Chang'an City. If possible, we can do our best to help when there is something going on in the two mansions! ”

Ji Ying's eyes flashed, he didn't think that anyone would dare to be unfavorable to the Yuanzhao Mansion, after all, the crown prince Liu Ju was taking care of him in Chang'an. However, since the master father Yan has taken this into account, he must not be unguarded.

"Good! You go back and tell the master Mr. Yan, no matter what happens, Mingyue Tower will definitely help you as soon as possible! ”

Jiga is gone. The young man who was still injured led the power that Mingyue Lou had secretly cultivated for many years to participate in a game of unknown winners and losers. Ji Ying, whose temples had already been frosted, stood at the top of the building, looking at his son who was far away in the autumn sunset, feeling both the pride of his successor and the heavy worry.

Although he was not in the court, he saw the current situation in Chang'an more clearly. Yuan Zhao's life and death are unknown, and Wei Qing was degraded and expelled...... has lost these two big arms, and now the strength of the crown prince Liu Ju has actually become minimal. In the entire Chang'an and beyond, he did not have the military strength that could be mobilized except for his own personal guard sixth division. In such a situation, if there is an unpredictable accident, the consequences are really unthinkable!

And even the fact that people who are not in the court like him can understand it, will those scheming guys not understand it? Ji Ying sighed deeply. Pray to myself that there will be no other accidents.

However, some bad things cannot be avoided by wishful prayer. What should come will come eventually, and what should happen will eventually happen. Three days later, when the first round of Chang'an autumn rain had just stopped, a long-planned conspiracy began.

Located in the middle of Suzaku Street, just one street away from the bustling shops, there are not many people living in it. Since the eldest princess Suxi got married, when Ziqin gave this mansion today, she has not spent as many days here as in another mansion.

For a long time, all the people of Chang'an knew that the two wives of the Yuanhou were very harmonious. Maybe it's because they have grown up together, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they are like sisters.

After Yuan Zhao left Chang'an with his escort to patrol the world, Princess Suxi moved to Changle Houfu with her henchmen and maids. Originally, it was probably to take care of the needs of Su Lingzhi, who was pregnant, but it didn't take long for the happy event to come into pairs, and I realized that I had already had a secret knot. The entire Hou Mansion is naturally happy.

Under such circumstances, Princess Suxi naturally will not return to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion for the time being. The only ones left here are the guards who are responsible for security and the servants who take care of the flowers and trees in the backyard.

No one would have thought that on this night, something happened in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion. A team of men and horses fighting with open fire suddenly surrounded the Hou Mansion and began to search.

When the housekeeper in charge of staying behind was informed, he hurriedly led people over to check what was going on, only to see that several guards had been controlled. And the other party's aggressive leader claimed to be the commander of Lantian County.

"You are bold! This is given to the eldest princess and the mansion of the Marquis of Yuan today, who gave you the right to break in casually?! ”

The housekeeper was furious. He was the one sent to this mansion by Empress Wei in order to give Princess Suxi the best possible care. Seeing that someone dares to come here to make trouble, how can I bear it!

Unexpectedly, the person on the other side who claimed to be the commander of Lantian County smiled coldly, and then said something that was even more surprising.

"You all listened well, there is a thief's confession, and it is involved in the Anguo Marquis Mansion. That's why the county brought people to investigate overnight. From now on, everyone in this mansion is not allowed to move, otherwise there will be any casualties and the consequences will be borne by themselves! ”

The housekeeper and the guards of the Hou Mansion knew that something was wrong as soon as they heard it. They had already heard about what had happened outside the city a few days ago. But I didn't expect that this Lantian County Order was too crazy, and it wasn't enough to go to Changle Plateau to make trouble, but now he actually ran to the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

It's just that they don't have a chance to say anything more. Jing Xing, who received the secret order of Liu Quyak, the Marquis of Zhongshan, understood very well the truth of the speed of the soldiers. Therefore, without saying anything, he ordered his officials to arrest everyone in the house. A housewide search was immediately launched.

Jing Xing stood on the high steps with his hands in his hands, and he looked at the people in the courtyard who were being guarded, and the light and shadow of the torches and lanterns were shining and extinguishing, and all that was projected at him were unyielding and angry eyes. But now he didn't have time to pay attention to that. Now that it has begun, there is no turning back.

Soon after, the raiding subordinates hurried to report: "Your Excellency! In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, what the thief confessed was found. In addition, there are a large number of hidden prohibited weapons such as swords, crossbows, and armor...... Please check it out! ”

Hearing this, the Lantian County Commander who turned around and hurried away secretly laughed proudly, his smile was hideous and vicious, and no one could see it in the dark.
